Ruth is one of the finest career coaches I've ever met (and I've met a lot): She's smart, curious and up on the latest trends. What really sets her apart, though, is her warmth and generosity. When Ruth consults with you, you're not just a number...she really cares about helping you succeed and gives 120% to make sure that you do. I highly recommend Ruth.

Ruth is an excellent career coach. I have worked with her on and off since April 2010 and have been very satisfied with her services....so much so, that it was frustrating to select only three attributes to describe her, since I would have felt very comfortable checking ALL of them. Ruth is very wise, dedicated to her clients, creative and resourceful. I have no hesitation recommending her to others!

Ruth Robbins is a wonderful coach! There is a “warm and fuzzy” element to her coaching style that connects her with each of her clients. She takes a genuine interest in the history of everyone, and does everything in her power to help them move forward towards their career goals.
